next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
The only way I can get sendmail to accept emails from nhm when my
laptop is InterNet challenged is by applying this patch to sendmail.cf.
nhm connects to sendmail on port 127.0.0.1:25 and sendmail complains
that it cannot look stuff up in DNS.
The way I see it, these two checks are reversed from the logical
sequence, but when I tried to explain this to Eric he said my config
was "wrong somehow".
Can anybody tell me the right way to make this work ?
